Ovomucoid gene polymorphism and its influence on quality changes at various storage timepoint of eggs from two strains of Japanese quail.

Abstract excerpt

During storage, irreversible changes occur in eggs, resulting in a decline in their quality, predominantly affecting the albumen. Ovomucoid, a major protein found in egg white, belongs to the Kazal-type serine proteinase inhibitors and serves to protect the embryo from microorganisms. Notably, in chicken eggs, it is a significant allergen. There is a possibility that its polymorphism also influences the quality...
